Beauty Island

Brittany Stewartwww.instagram.com
Beauty Island tells stories of memories sparked by beauty products. Host Brittany Stewart gets inside the minds (and beauty cabinets) of well-known figures inside and outside the beauty industry. Each episode, guests will be asked to share the eight beauty products that have a special meaning to them. Maybe it's the lipstick their mum used to apply on a night out, the first beauty product they ever bought themselves, or the perfume that instantly brings back memories of a special occasion. We'll discover more about their career, relationships, family, challenges and everything in between, bookmarked by the beauty products that have helped shape their lives. It's a celebration of life - and lipstick.

A little note from me.

Yes, that's it for Season 2 of Beauty Island! We're taking a little (ok, well a little bit more than a little) break until August as I do the classic mid-twenties thing and go travelling for a few months around Europe to 'find myself'.
